Recension: Eliza and her monsters av Francesca Zappia

Eighteen-year-old Eliza Mirk is the anonymous creator of Monstrous
Sea, a wildly popular webcomic, but when a new boy at school tempts her
to live a life offline, everything she's worked for begins to crumble.

Scott
Westerfeld's Afterworlds meets Nimona in this novel about art, fandom,
and finding the courage to be yourself. Features illustrations by the
author throughout. Perfect for readers of Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl, this
is the second novel by the acclaimed author of Made You Up.

In
the real world, Eliza Mirk is shy, weird, smart, and friendless. Online,
Eliza is LadyConstellation, the anonymous creator of a popular webcomic
called Monstrous Sea. With millions of followers and fans throughout
the world, Eliza's persona is popular. Eliza can't imagine enjoying the
real world as much as she loves her digital community. Then Wallace
Warland transfers to her school, and Eliza begins to wonder if a life
offline might be worthwhile. But when Eliza's secret is accidentally
shared with the world, everything she's built--her story, her
relationship with Wallace, and even her sanity--begins to fall apart.
With pages from Eliza's webcomic, as well as screenshots from Eliza's
online forums, this uniquely formatted book will appeal to fans of
Noelle Stevenson's Nimona and Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl.
